According to the two-tax system implemented by the Song Dynasty, the summer tax collects currency and the autumn tax collects physical goods. Zhao Bing means that Hainan is not rich in products now, and physical goods should be collected to prepare for the famine. However, Zhuang Shilin thought that money was better, and he thought that in addition to making taxes convenient for collection, farmers must sell their agricultural products in order to pay taxes and exchange them for currency. The government can purchase the required grain through currency and hire manpower. This will promote the production, manufacturing and circulation of goods, and increase the income from commercial taxes.

Zhao Bing thought it makes sense. Taxation in currency will make the self-sufficient rural natural economy directly related to the market, expand the scope of commodity production, and promote social and economic prosperity. However, those in the army of the General Office hold a large amount of salary and cannot spend it, which will also cause deflation and is not conducive to long-term development. At the same time, the listing of large amounts of grain can also make it easier for slang people to obtain food, thereby alleviating their food shortage, increasing the opportunity for contact between the two sides, and also benefiting from easing the conflict between the two sides.

On the contrary, "I don't panic when I have food in my stomach." Zhao Bing still felt that he should be more conservative. He was really scared by the grain shortage in Jiazi Town. Thousands of people waited for rice to be put into the pot, and there was no place to buy grain at a high price. Therefore, he thought he should be more conservative, not to take too much steps, and comprehensive monetization would have to wait for Hainan's grain to be completely self-sufficient, and every household would implement it when there was surplus grain.

The two calculated that the general's army had to consume 500,000 shi a year, and collected it on the basis of an increase of 20%, so that he would have 600,000 shi of grain in his hands. The farmers still had surplus grains for supplying the market, and the balance was collected in currency and used for local government expenses. The commercial tax was for military use, and the insufficient part could be raised by the general's office. However, Zhao Bing thought that it was not enough to rely solely on savings and counterfeit currency, and it was necessary to develop industry, promote exports, and earn foreign money was the long-term solution.

On the surface, Zhao Bing seemed to suffer a loss, but in fact he did not lose much. According to the tax system of the Song Dynasty, the tax of land in the land is four cents and four cents, and the tax of autumn rice is eight cents. The tax of land is three cents and three cents, and the tax of autumn rice is seven cents. One million and acres of land can charge about 6,000 guan and 120,000 guan of grain, while the mansion and the local government need at least 4 million guan and 700,000 guan to cover the expenses. How big the gap is can be seen at a glance. This all needs to be filled through miscellaneous taxes. On the average, it is four cents per mu of land, five dou of grain, and it is not enough to charge like bones and marrow-sucking. In the end, he has to pay for subsidies.

Even so, the General's Mansion received only 120,000 stones of grain free of charge, and the remaining 580,000 stones would cost about one million guan. Although the tax rate has been raised, only about four dou of grain and five hundred cents per mu of land is required to bear. However, Zhao Bing received 600,000 stones of grain and 800,000 coins of grain free of charge. People can collect four stones of grain per mu of land for two quarters. Apart from seeds, taxes and their own life, the remaining ones can still make profits when entering the market and circulating.

As soon as they go in and out, Zhao Bing can reduce the deficit. Instead of charging farmers any additional taxes and fees, farmers will naturally increase their enthusiasm for growing grain, be willing to increase investment, and then work hard to improve the productivity and commodity rate of the land. The more grain farmers buy, the greater the benefits. What is important is that the people have surplus benefits, stabilize people's hearts, and attract more people to come, so that Qiongzhou can gain the motivation to develop, so that his plan to keep a low profile and accumulate strength can be realized...

Zhao Bing and Zhuang Shilin discussed for a long time to determine the tax amount, and felt that there was no mistake, but such a big thing always required everyone's consent, so they summoned the heads of various departments to discuss the matter so that the matter could be determined.

"What do you guys have any opinions?" After everyone came to Houzhuang Shilin to explain the results of the discussion between the two, Zhao Bing looked at everyone and asked.

"Your Highness re-determines the tax amount and cancels miscellaneous taxes to benefit the country and the people. Although there was a shortage at the beginning, I thought it could be implemented." Ying Jieyan said.

"I also think it's feasible. Although the deficit is quite large, the General's Mansion can still bear it." Jiang Xu nodded and said.

"This move is to benefit the people, stabilize people's hearts, and make the military and civilians unite in fighting the enemy." Gao Yingsong had no objection.

"Your Highness's move can bring a large amount of surplus grain into the market, which to a certain extent all grain prices are alleviated, and it also makes the replenishment of each warehouse to benefit the famine." Cai Wanyi of course had no objection. Now Changpingsi can only go out but not in, and the granaries are gradually empty, so now he can have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, the new fields reclaimed this time are all collected according to the new tax system. Can official fields, vocational fields and academic fields still be reduced and exempted?" Chen Zeweng asked.

"Since Judge Chen has asked, I have a suggestion, please see if it is feasible?" Zhao Bing said for a moment, "I want to use the newly reclaimed land and all newly opened lands in the future as official land. No unit or individual can occupy land indiscriminately. We can allocate the arable land to those without land, and they will rent it for a long time and pay the land tax according to the law."

"Your Highness's meaning is not to give land according to Ding, but to give land according to households, and they have to rent it for a long time. But if people have life and death, how should they deal with it?" Jiang Xu asked.

"My king's intention is for ten to twenty years, and his life will not increase or death will not decrease during this period. We will adjust it after the expiration." Zhao Bing replied, his meaning was very clear, which was to imitate the contract system in his previous life.

"Your Highness, what if the tenant does not grow food and convert the land for its use?" Pan Fang asked.

"After the land rent, we will not interfere whether he planted fruit trees or dug ponds to raise fish. As long as he can pay the food according to the law, we must also guide them to plant anything, otherwise we will wear whatever we planted in the food!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Your Highness, if you divide all the fields into official fields, where will the expenses of the prefectures and counties come from?" Chen Zeweng asked.

"All expenses are allocated from the land tax and allocated to various places, and no additional charges are allowed to be collected from the people." Zhao Bing replied.

"Well, this is a good move. As long as the people pay enough land taxes, the rest will be borne by themselves. This can effectively stop the governments at all levels from placing branches to the people, thereby reducing the burden on the people. Officials can also be at ease in their work, which will naturally reduce the conflicts between the two sides and re-establish prestige." Gao Yingsong said appreciatively.

"Your Highness, if some households are unable to operate during the tenancy period and have a population decrease during the tenancy period, some people have insufficient arable land due to the increase in population, but the deadline cannot be adjusted. Wouldn't they either abandon the fields or have sharply reduced incomes and are unable to maintain it?" Ying Jieyan thought for a while and asked.
